Blizzard releases Starcraft patch 1.15.2

While Warcraft III players are begging and waiting eagerly for another balance patch, StarCraft got a little time in the spotlight with another patch.

Although there are absolutely no gameplay changes, it’s good to see Blizzard supporting a game that’s over ten years old now.

This particular patch removes the CD check for Brood War. While there have long since been no-CD patches released for the game, it’s about damn time that Blizzard did it themselves.

Follow through for the patch changes.
